In the past, the Zhou family members were all very busy, each with their own tasks, and they were usually nowhere to be seen. If you wanted to see them, you had to send someone to look for them.
On this day, the Zhou family all took a day off and stayed at home!
Nobody went out to work. Anyway, it's not like there's anything to do if you don't work for a day. A year is long, and you should rest for a few days, right?
This is perfectly normal!
No one in the village thought it was strange, because everyone did it that way; after working hard for many days, they would rest for a day or two!
However, the matchmaker who came to the Zhou family had a bad feeling. Don't ask why, it was just a gut feeling!
Hmm, something big is about to happen!
This big matter is still related to her!
She's been a matchmaker for so many years, and she's never had such a bad feeling before. This time, she's afraid she won't be able to get out of this mess!
In the past, at most, the person who introduced her wouldn't be satisfied and wouldn't be very enthusiastic towards her. She wouldn't dare to offend her in any way, because she might need her help in the future!
That's the advantage of being a matchmaker: you get to eat, drink, and take bribes, and no one dares to openly offend you!
As people often say, a matchmaker's mouth is a weapon!
What does that mean?
Matchmakers have the most persuasive tongues; they can make even the most mediocre person sound incredibly charming!
However, even the best person can be described as terrible!
Therefore, Zhao the matchmaker was all-powerful in the village!
The people here have great respect for matchmakers and all want to please them so they can help them find a good girl or a good boy!
Matchmaker Zhao thought that the newcomers to Changzhu Village should be the same, but she found that they were not as respectful as she had imagined!
The villagers of Changna Village firmly believe that they do not need to deliberately please anyone. As long as they have the power, they can talk to anyone. If they do not have the power, the matchmaker probably won't even give them a second glance!
This is precisely why the He family was given an opportunity.
"Oh! Everyone's here! Are you all resting at home today?"
No matter how uneasy Zhao the matchmaker was, she had already arrived at the door, and she couldn't just turn around and run away without saying goodbye!
She didn't do anything wrong, so why would she do this?
She could only brazenly walk in, swaying her hips, waving her handkerchief, and greeting the Zhou family with a smile.
She's an expert at this!
No matter how uneasy you feel, things will work themselves out in the end, and there will always be a solution!
She refused to believe that the Zhou family would dare to deliberately make things difficult for her!
Do you still want to stay in the village?
She's been around here for decades, what can't she handle?
Why should we be afraid of these people!
If anyone should be afraid, it's these newcomers!
With this in mind, Zhao the matchmaker felt more confident, straightened her back, and smiled even more brightly!
We cannot afford to lose this battle!
Wang's face showed no smile whatsoever. She seemed completely unsurprised by Zhao the matchmaker's arrival. Since the matchmaker had spoken, she couldn't remain silent. She said indifferently, "We're all idle people. We just pretend to be busy all the time! Actually, we haven't accomplished anything! But Zhao the matchmaker, you're such a busy person, how come you have time to come to our house? Are you perhaps thirsty and just passing by, seeing someone here, wanting to ask for a cup of water?"
Matchmaker Zhao choked, her smile freezing for a moment. She wasn't thirsty and wanted to ask for water!
That makes her sound so uncouth!
So many people, upon seeing her pass by, would proactively invite her in for a seat, some tea, and some delicious food!
Why are my family members so indifferent this week?
Not only did they not invite me, but they also spoke in a sarcastic and ambiguous way!
No wonder Mrs. He said that!
This family is truly cold-hearted, selfish, and ruthless!
well!
Only Mr. He was relatively normal and conscious!
Zhao the matchmaker didn't want to say much, but she had come specifically for something today and didn't want to go directly to He Shi, so she hesitated for a moment.
She felt that even if Wang Shi and Zhou Ping were not good, they were still Zhou Yuzhu's parents. They wanted to marry off their daughter. If she, as the matchmaker, had not met the two of them, that would be fine. But if she had met them, it would be inappropriate to bypass them and go directly to talk to the eldest daughter-in-law!
After thinking about it, since I'll still have to discuss it with these two people later, and we've already run into each other, I might as well say everything I need to say today!
Just as she was about to speak, Wang beat her to it and asked, "Matchmaker Zhao seems to be coming to our Zhou family often lately, but she doesn't come to see us. Is there something we can't know about?"
Zhao the matchmaker paused, thinking that the question made her sound like a thief, sneaking around!
Her expression immediately darkened. Thinking that she had to say it anyway, she decided to speak directly, "Isn't it all because of your daughter's marriage! You're all so busy that you can't take care of your daughter's marriage. She doesn't want to marry, and you don't want to force her, but she's getting older, so you're anxious. That's why you asked your eldest daughter-in-law to act as a mediator and have Madam He help arrange the marriage! Wasn't this authorized by you? How come you don't remember?"
Wang was so angry that her chest ached. She gritted her teeth and tried to remain calm. "He asked you to arrange a marriage for Yuzhu? What did she say back then?"
Matchmaker Zhao was a little puzzled. Wang's expression was a bit scary. What was wrong with this family? Would the daughter-in-law take on these things without the mother-in-law's permission?
This kind of thing is the hardest to handle; it's a thankless task!
You might end up being hated by people!
“Your eldest daughter-in-law is He Shi, right? That’s right! She’s the one who came to me. She said you asked her to find a matchmaker because your daughter was very resistant. You didn’t want your daughter to resent you, but you were also very anxious about her marriage and worried that she wouldn’t be able to find a good husband when she got older! She is the eldest daughter-in-law, and an eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so this matter fell to her. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and find a matchmaker.”
I've tried to contact you before. Every time Mrs. He asked when you were free, I made time to come, but I never saw you. Mrs. He said you didn't want to deal with things and were hiding, and that I should just talk to her directly if I needed anything! She also told me to keep introducing people, and that she would vet them, which is why I made the introductions!
If it weren't for the fact that the Zhou family was making money from selling bean sprouts, and that the Mo family behind them was even richer, she wouldn't have wanted to take this job!
That's really weird!
She had her suspicions, but Madam He always managed to shut her down. Madam He would also give her hints, saying that her sister-in-law was a bit something, and telling her to think in another direction!
Everyone has their share of troubles!
As a matchmaker, she knew this very well!
So later I stopped worrying about it and actually helped the Zhou family girl find a match.
Several men were introduced to her, but she wasn't satisfied with any of them. Then she came to the last one, whose family was very well-off and offered a generous dowry. However, the man had a few minor issues, and to her surprise, she chose him!
They even said it was perfect, a perfect match!
She thought, "That makes sense. That girl has a quirk; she doesn't look down on anyone else!"
She never imagined that her vicious sister-in-law would harm her own sister-in-law!
The bride price was taken by Ms. He, and the wedding date and everything else were also arranged by Ms. He!
"You believe everything she says? Such a big event as marrying off a daughter is something even the parents don't allow to know about, and you still believe her nonsense?"
